Hey everybody, I am working on PDF electoral rolls, but struggle with unicode conversion issues (a Crystal Reports bug in the version the ECI currently uses, at least in some states such as UP or Gujarat, which leads to a corrupted ToUnicodeCMap, which means you cannot properly copy and paste from the PDF, or otherwise extract proper UTF8). If your 'free the pdf event' finds a way around this, do let me know - likewise I shall send any progress from my side...
